Theory- Feminism
Definition- Refers to the idea that all genders should be treated equally. Feminism is “the belief that women are full human beings capable of participation and leadership in the full range of human activities- intellectual, political, social, sexual, spiritual and economic” (Cleage 1993, 28).
Apply- While there are many aspects to feminism and other theories that have developed from feminism, overall all this theory can help people organize on the basis of identity. Feminism can be used to identify issues people face as systemic, not simply individual problems. By identifying underlying systemic issues, people may be more motivated to work together and create change.
Adapt- This theory could also be used in the business world. Research shows that women are paid less than men on average. Recognizing that this issue exists outside the confines of an individual salary could help women work together to decrease the wage gap.
